BMW R1250GS could this replace the R1200GS?
Concept design shows what the replacement to the R1200Gs could look like

Ilmor develop 5-stroke motor. What?
They may not have had the best track record with bikes, but Ilmor's new 3-cylinder motor could be the future

Not just a broken ankle for the Kawasaki young-gun after highspeed crash


Bentley driver gets 56 day ban. Biker gets 12 months jail
We bikers are fair and balaced. It seems the justice system isn't

Yamaha FZ6 concept - a sharper FZ6?
Are the XJ6 and FZ6 models too close together? This sharper-looking concept FZ6 could be the answer


Three new colours for Goldwing in 2010
Just paint options for the 2010 Honda Goldwing, no airbag as standard ...yet

Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC) review
For a comfortable, tourable Harley without going the whole Hog (sorry!), this model makes a lot of sense

If you've got a £795 head, get a £795 helmet
Probably, infact definitely the most expensive lid we've ever seen

Griso 1100 review
Better looking than the concept bike that spawned it, Guzzi's bruiser is sportier than you'd think

990 Adventure (2006 - present) review
The all-rounder that's the best off-roader gets fuel injection and anti-lock brakes to appeal to the sensible crowd. Has the fun factor been banished too?

GSF1250 Bandit (2007 - present) review
Ask most riders what bike they think did the most to define the 1990s and they will probably say Ducati’s 916, Honda’s FireBlade or Suzuki’s GSX-R750. Which is fair enough, as those have always been the attention grabbers, but there is a bike that had a far more subtle influence during the same period – Suzuki’s Bandit 1200.

Street Triple (2007 - 2011) review
With £2k taken out of the Daytona 675's pricetag, is Triumph's Street Triple the bargain sportsbike of 2007?


2000 GSX-R750 Y-K3 review
The brakes aren't all that good and it's not very comfortable either, but the 2000 GSX-R750 Y-K3 is a modern classic and so much more individual than your ten-a-penny GSX-R1000s and R1s.

Daytona 675 (2006 - 2012) review
Triumph has ticked nearly every box with the new Daytona. It is different from other 600's and a joy to ride.

XL125 Varadero (2001 - present) review
Don't be fooled by the looks: the furthest this bike will go offroad is to the end of your driveway
